Will Budwig Leave?

[Hawka]

My personal opinion now is yes, a few weeks ago it was non but that has changed, and now hearing GWS will offer over 2million a year, wow that's hard to turn down.
But if he leaves i reckon we will be just as good, we have other fantastic forwards and we played well without him last year, it will also leave as close to a million dollars to spend on someone else.

[Ziplock]

I dunno how we'd have the space for 2 mil tbh....

unless brogan's on a ridiculously large amount atm :P

To be honest i have no idea if he will leave I just think it would be interesting if he did.

[ossie85]

Part of that $2m is outside of the salary cap- promotional stuff like Izzy (which is bull btw)

Yeah, I think he'll go

Ablett --> left

Scully --> left

Goddard --> left

Pendlebury --> stayed

Cloke --> Stayed

Swan --> stayed

Is Franklin a Pies player? Nope. He has done everything at the Hawks, and he'll leave for the money I think.

I dont think you understand the impact folau had on AFL in sydney, especially the west.

They can't apply for ambassadorship until he's already on the giants list- any deal they make with him will be $X + potential ambassador money.

I reckon we could squeeze out 1.2-1.5mil though easily enough :P

[Scrads]

Are we going to get like 10 first rounders as compo? haha.

do you need him though. Cameron Patton budy abit overkill. what you really need is a gun midfielder to win the ball. Pendles would have been the man to go after.

Its more about crowds man, team success to come later. Buddy will fill a stadium!

[Ziplock]

we chased pendles, swan etc. but nobody was keen to cut a deal :P

yeah, whether we need him is really the issue... imo, we don't need him- he won't be that useful for onfield success immediately- his goal kicking accuracy is wayyy too low for a team that won't be getting the ball to him that often.

and, for later on cameron, buddy, patton would definitely be overkill.

[kilbluff1985]

GWS would prob use Buddy in the mids heaps more which would give him a shot at the Brownlow

Not offically, but I'm willing to bet there has already been some 'nudge nudge - wink wink' deals

Why get buddy, get Daisy + Harry Taylor

Daisy won't leave Victoria, Taylor would only go West

Nah mate, Harry Taylor is coming home ;)

[JBs-Hawks]

Im sure either will go for 2mil :P
